@original fred :) no worries, it’s on-topic, no? :)

(And these would be stories passed down for generations by word of mouth until they finally got written down, obviously they get distorted over time, but a core of truth remains.)

@original fred So here we have someone’s argument against a claim that the biblical texts are 100% fiction, against which then it is argued that they can not be 100% true. I think that’s called a straw man argument :).

Can’t you meet in somewhere in the middle? Although being nonreligious myself, I have read some texts from the bible and dead sea scrolls, and I do think that parts about them recount actual events. Albeit an exaggerated and spun version thereof (as a tribe leader, it is obviously in my interest to claim that I am a direct descendant from beings created by god, and that my great-grandfather lived for hundreds of years :)).

@original fred Going by Wikipedia, some fathers in the 4th century decided that the book written 500-700 years before then wasn’t canon, and from then on it was no longer part of the bible. That’s how institutions work, they filter out the bits that don’t fit their interests and beliefs.

All this fuss about canon or no canon... A religious work is a religious work, whether it got a stamp of approval from some particular religious institutions because it fits with their take on reality isn’t really important.

The game looks interesting. As long it is not evangelising in nature, these are interesting and historically important stories that I wouldn’t mind seeing a little more of in games.

@Hohlraum Basically except for the network and audio return features, which require extra lines in the connector/cable, the PS3 can support all HDMI 1.4 features. So it’s kind of like, HDMI 1.3½. It should work on all TVs.

“If it's a glitch, you can look forward to another mandatory firmware update sometime soon (sorry!).” — Well, they still have two months right? :)

Also, is it me or do all the movies on my PS3 suddenly have animating thumbnails, without me having to manually set them? Awesome!

Four-player multiplayer, very nice I definitely missed that!

Hope that mode is also online though… Playing with only 4 players by yourself would be a bit meh.

Does the MOVE have rumble?
